As far as the metal kind goes - this looks pretty good - let us know about quality!

Prediction for Thursday... New thread: How do I install legshield trim?

Laughing emoticon

Unless you've got it figured out already... if you got the kind it looks like you did it's gonna be trickier than you think.

Maybe start over here... Leg Shield Trim Roller?

The application list for that legshield trim doesn't make any sense. There's not any aluminum trim out there that is universal fit for all those models.

b/w

Installing that stuff is one of our mechanic's least favorite jobs.

I second that. biggest pain in the ass ever. about 30 minutes into this job you'll be wishing that you would have just gotten the black rubber trim. good luck dom. def take the headset off first.

I spent an hour on Saturday to get my new plastic legshield trim HALF on. I just can't seem to get it any farther. I have it down one side, and half way across the top. The curvature is just fighting me, and I can't manage to keep the slot open on the trim without risking cracking it. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. This is driving me nuts! lol

I guess I don't quite understand this. I cut down my leg shield considerably and was still able to get the plastic trim on.

It's not really that hard, you just need some fucking patience.

Fucking patients? Sounds like what the doctors at a VD clinic have.
